Hardwood floor is natural and aesthetical, but when it has been used for many years, hardwood floor will develop grey areas. The grey areas appear from hardwood floor, they will become more and more visible as time goes on. So, before they are getting more visible, it will be better to get rid of the grey wood floors. It is easy to get the grey out of your hardwood floors so that you will get the natural look back.

Getting rid of the grey from hardwood floors can be one using stain removal. To do this, you should open all the windows in the area where you work. This will allow for better air circulation when you are using the chemical cleaners. Protect yourself with a pair of thick rubber gloves to protect your hands and goggles to protect your eyes. After that, sand the grey wood floors lightly with fine grit sandpaper to remove the top layer of finish so that the stain remover you will use will penetrate the wood. Prepare a 12-ounce spray bottle and fill it with 1 part chlorine bleach to 1o parts water. Add a squirt of dish soap and give the bottle a gentle shake to let the ingredients mix. Spray the solution to the grey areas of your hardwood flooring.

Watch the grey areas when the stain begins to lighten and rinse it with a soft cloth and clear water once you find that the grey stain has lightened to match the rest color of the hardwood flooring. After that, you can apply a new coat of clear urethane to the lightened areas. Apply the coat based on the instructions of the package. Usually, clear coat will need a soft cloth or paintbrush to apply the coat. So, repairing grey wood floors is quite easy. You just need to get yourself protected and the grey areas can be easily removed.
